6th grade boy in need of tennis shoes
12 year old boy is in need of tennis shoes, size 5 adult
Exceptional Education classes missed their annual "gone fishin" field trip. Teachers are planning to "go fish" anyway!
When weather interfered and students couldn't attend their favorite field trip, teachers decided to plan a similar experience in their classrooms. We are asking for fruit chews/gummies, candy with no nuts, and any small toys or prizes. We have borrowed two fishing poles. Students will "fish" behind a partition, while teachers will attach a goody bag to the poles and allow students to pull in a prize. There are 21 students in all. Please click the "I can Help" button and be specific about what you can provide. Together we should be able to provide them with a pretty good catch for the day. (Toys and prizes can Dollar Tree or Dollar Spot type toys.) Please mark the items "School Fishing Trip" and drop off at Fire Station Number One on the left side of City Hall during regular business hours.
